Nina, Mariah and Abby chat about perfume to pass the time until Chris arrives with some news about Chance.
Chris informs that Chance was sent to Michigan (but may no longer be there) His supervisor has heard from him since the dropped call with Abby. He’s closing in on his contact – the end’s in sight but he can’t risk being exposed. Abby and Nina are thrilled with the news. Hang in there, Chris leaves.
You told me to be more spontaneous, Vikki wonders why Billy thinks her too gullible and defenseless to handle Locke. Maybe I have a plan, did you ever think that? What are you talking about? Billy asks. When Lily appears, Vikki says – oh, here’s your sweetheart (and clip-clops off) What just happened here? Lily’s left to ask Billy.
Calm down – there’s no reason for you to leave town, Summer says. You’ll portray me as evil, Tara whines. Summer plans to give an honest account. Tara can’t risk it, she won’t risk it. Summer’s willing to pretend this never happened – she wants Kyle and Harrison to have a wonderful relationship. Tara won’t compromise – she wants her son to grow up in a complete family. He can have that – he’ll have Aunts, Uncles, cousins, Summer points out. Tara wants Harrison to have parents that are together. Kyle fell for me once – I was the one to end the relationship. You’re delusional, Summer snaps – he was only interested in you to get over ME. We share decades! Tara’s happy to hear she hasn’t ruled out the job. Are you packing your bags or am I packing mine? Tara doesn’t want Summer just to leave the continent – she wants her to cancel the wedding and break up with Kyle.
Over drinks at TGP, Billy frets over Vikki’s relationship with Locke – she hinted that she’s up to something. Either way she’s playing with fire. Lily knows that Billy’s instincts are usually spot on. We should take it seriously.
As Mariah satisfies her craving for potato chips and marshmallow fluff, Nina goes to look over Abby’s shouler – she’s searching online for organized crime in Michigan. Mariah has just the plan to take their mind off things. Pull out your phones.
What Kyle and I had was deep and real – it still exists, Tara claims. If you didn’t sense our connection you wouldn’t be rushing this wedding. Summer’s sure that everyone including Kyle will see that Tara just wants to latch onto another rich man. Tara holds all the leverage here. If you don’t want Kyle to lose his son there’s only one choice for you to make. You utter bitch, Summer hisses. Oh sweetie, you have no idea. Leave town or I leave and take Harrison with me. You claim to have feelings for Kyle yet threaten to take away his son? Summer’s mystified. When Kyle comes down, Tara excuses herself. What did you want to talk about? It can wait – Summer was upset about a work thing – she doesn’t want to bring Kyle down. I can handle this on my own.
Ashland bumps into Vikki at CL’s. Before you go, there’s something I want you to know.
Ashland plans to stay up late and decide about Vikki’s offer. You’re absolutely right – teaming up with you means I can be proactive in protecting my company from vultures (and give us the opportunity to work together) Yes, I’m interested.
No, Billy didn’t tell Vikki about the pending article. Lily wonders if Billy’s right – there’s something more going on. She’ll oversee this investigation with him. Billy thinks that’ll be fun.
In her suite, Summer leaves her Mom a message – it’s really important.
Mariah has Abby play a song from her phone – let’s see what the baby likes best. Abby and Nina laugh as Mariah stands to dance. Abby thanks Mariah for cheering her up and with the other ladies in the kitchen, has no idea that someone’s spying on her from outside.
